News is circulating online that Melvyn Jope has died.  Melvyn was an expert on the flora of Greece and had made frequent visits there.  He was president of the Cyclamen Society ( https://www.medpag.org/2022/05/22/new-president-of-cyclamen-society-announced/ ) and had been a frequent contributor to this forum.

Such sad news about Melvyn.  He was universally liked and will be greatly missed. Our condolences go out to his wonderful family.
He was a keen member of the Mediterranean Garden Group as well  and a talk of his, given to the group, can still be seen here:   https://www.medpag.org/resources/lectures/galanthus-and-companion-planting/
